The invention provides an electric connector with a locking mechanism wherein the amount of-operation and the operation resistance of the operating parts can be freely set according to the mode of use. The electric connector (100) with a locking mechanism comprises a body (110) to be inserted into a receiving recess (210) of a counterpart electric connector (200), a flexible arm (120) extending from the body (110) and being provided with a protrusion (122), which fits into s fitting hole (211) of the receiving recess (210) of the counterpart electric connector (200), a slider (130) being provided on the body (110) so that the slider (130) can slide in the direction of insertion and withdrawal, and an operating lever (140) being rotatably provided on the arm (120) or the body (110) in such a way that the top end (142) thereof comes out on the rear face side of the body (110) and being coupled with the slider (130) in such a way that when the operating lever (140) is rotated, the slider (130) will be slid. At least either said arm (120) or said slider (130) is provided with a cam face (123),(132) which is inclined in such a way that its distance from the side wall (112) of the body (110) changes along the direction of insertion and withdrawal and makes the arm (120) flex according to the sliding of the slider (130) so that the protrusion (122) come closer to the side wall (112) of the body (110). <IMAGE> |
